Most people contract for certain things, but it’s all negotiable. Say a big time director like Nolan wanted to have no credits at all; he’d have to make a lot of concessions to the Screen Actors Guild and the other unions, but he could do it if he really wanted to.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen today.

Trump has a the mind of a crackhead without the addiction.

The craziest thing is that if Donnie had any guts at all he’d have demanded $50 billion from the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017. Instead, he’s nickel and diming his supporters

If you’re going to mention Lee Marvin you have to show his range.

“Lioness” with Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman. Weird combination of anti-terrorist propaganda and soap opera.
